India’s GDP grew 8.1% in Q4 FY25 (January-March quarter), surpassing RBI and World Bank projections of 7.5%. Data released on June 30, 2025, showed robust growth driven by manufacturing (10.2% rise) and services (9.8%). Agriculture grew slower at 3.4% due to unseasonal rains. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman termed it proof of India’s resilience despite global slowdown and geopolitical tensions. Economists forecast FY26 growth between 7–7.3%. Stock markets reacted positively, with Sensex closing 650 points higher. However, concerns remain about rural demand weakness and monsoon dependence.
